Interrogation

This stranger asked me
"are you happy?"
and the answer is yes
but it is presumptuous
to ask the question
and he doesn't deserve any part
of my hard won joy
earned as it was
with time and trial and effort
even my confirmation
of its existence
I withheld
because I have seen
vampires like him before.
